Counselling

Time to explore what matters to you.

Counselling offers a confidential, non-directive environment where you can talk openly, explore difficult emotions safely and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

Person-centred

You remain at the centre.

We believe that you are the expert on yourself. We work alongside you with empathy and acceptance, supporting you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your pace.

  • Short-term or open-ended work
  • For adults, young adults and trainees
  • What you explore is led by you

Flexible and collaborative

Support shaped around you.

Where appropriate, we may draw on CBT-informed techniques to help you recognise patterns of thinking and behaviour and develop practical ways of coping.

  • 50-minute sessions
  • £40 per session
  • Concessionary rates available for students

What counselling can offer

A space for reflection, understanding and growth.

Whether you are facing a specific issue or simply feel that something is not quite right, you do not need to arrive with a complete explanation or a fixed goal.

During counselling, you can

  • Talk openly in a confidential, non-directive environment
  • Explore difficult emotions safely
  • Gain a deeper understanding of yourself
  • Improve self-esteem and self-confidence
  • Move towards positive and lasting change

Your first conversation

Begin without committing to ongoing sessions.

We offer a 15-minute telephone or online consultation for £10 so you can discuss what has brought you to counselling, ask questions and explore whether you feel you would work well together.
